CRS calculator
Estimate a CRS score against the published grid. Results update as you fill in the form. This is not an IRCC assessment, and it is not a prediction that you will be invited.
2026 category-based selection follows the official IRCC tables (page details 22 Jun 2026).
- Healthcare, STEM, trades, education, and transport: at least 12 months full-time (or equivalent part-time) in the last 3 years, in a single listed occupation, in Canada or abroad.
- Physicians, senior managers, and researchers use the same 12-month rule, and the work must be in Canada.
- This experience does not need to be continuous.
- French-language proficiency is NCLC 7 in all 4 abilities.
- Skilled military recruits is a separate FSMA pathway, not a 12-month occupation tag.

Notice, checked 16 Oct 2026
From 3 Nov 2026, IRCC awards points for eligible Canadian work experience in a high-wage occupation, or for a qualifying job offer in a high-wage occupation, and keeps the higher of the two. An LMIA is not required for those new job-offer points. The job offer page says an LMIA will no longer be required for a job offer used toward Federal Skilled Worker or Federal Skilled Trades eligibility, including occupations that are not high-wage. The backgrounder describes that eligibility change as a temporary public policy for candidates invited on or after 3 Nov 2026 who meet the policy conditions.
The calculator starts the 3 Nov 2026 rules at midnight in Toronto. That start time is our assumption. IRCC did not state a time.
Profiles already in the pool are recalculated automatically, including points for eligible Canadian work experience. A candidate who wants points for a qualifying job offer has to update the profile with the required job offer information before 3 Nov 2026. The job offer page says the online system will still ask for a positive LMIA, and it tells candidates to answer Yes, enter LMIA number 00000, and use 2026-01-01 and 2029-01-01 as the issuance and expiry dates.
Recalculation may take up to two weeks. Invitation rounds are paused while that runs. IRCC says rounds start again when recalculation is complete.
This page repeats those Canada.ca pages for scoring practice. IRCC applies the rules to a real profile. The calculator does not collect a name, an email address, or an application number.

2026 category-based selection
Lists and rules follow the IRCC category hub (page details 2026-06-22). Healthcare, STEM, trades, education, and transport: at least 12 months full-time (or equivalent part-time) in the last 3 years, in a single listed occupation, in Canada or abroad. Physicians, senior managers, and researchers: the same 12 months in the last 3 years, and the work must be in Canada. This experience does not need to be continuous. French-language proficiency is NCLC 7 in all 4 abilities, not a work-experience tag. Skilled military recruits is not a 12-month occupation tag: Foreign Skilled Military Applicant status, 10 years of continuous foreign military service, a Canadian Forces Recruiting Group offer of at least 3 years in NOC 40042 / 42102 / 43204, and a 2-year post-secondary credential (Educational Credential Assessment if foreign). Ministerial instructions for each round control who is invited.
No French test results entered. IRCC requires NCLC 7 in all 4 abilities.
